Nasty code-execution bug in WinRAR threatened millions of users for 14 years
Who actually uses WinRAR?
I keep forgetting that it was a thing.
Right? It's like people who actually bought WinZip.
@hobbit666 I love rats nests.
Just randomly pulling cables until someone screams is the best!
For anyone looking to understand when a NAS is appropriate, and the multiplicity of options for any solution. I recommend that you read this article here.

@dafyre I'm a watcher what can I say!
Sounds kinky... lol
Eating lunch after making my proposal for another solution to virtualization that I was dreadful of giving.
Only because of internal stress, the upper boss loved that I made a separate proposal.

Congrats to @DustinB3403 and the Other Jared for receiving Raspberry Pi Starter kits from @StarWinds
Totally awesome that I won this!
The below script will replicate user permissions and a few other settings from a Source and Target user.

# confirm:$false suppresses the confirmation for changes to an OU or DL. Otherwise this could be rather tedious.

Thanks just that I might have some kit becoming available but they are all different Dell models, just wondered if the Hard Drive space/RAID matched that would be OK for a test lab,
e.g.
R610, 64GB RAM with 4x 600GB SAS
R410, 64GB RAM with 4x 600GB SASSounds like it will work just fine for a test lab, anyways, once you get down to testing, DM me and I'll get you in touch with an engineer, who will review your environment to make sure everything will work perfectly.
See now I want to purchase more lab equipment to test this. . . .
@Nic That's just great! How many SW folks are storming your booth?

This script will generate a list of all network shares and their permissions. Useful for annual permission auditing.
<#
.SYNOPSIS
This script will list all shares on a computer, and list all the share permissions for each share.
.DESCRIPTION
The script will take a list all shares on a local or remote computer.
.PARAMETER Computer
Specifies the computer or array of computers to process
.INPUTS
Get-SharePermissions accepts pipeline of computer name(s)
.OUTPUTS
Produces an array object for each share found.
.EXAMPLE
C:\PS> .\Get-SharePermissions # Operates against local computer.
.EXAMPLE
C:\PS> 'computerName' | .\Get-SharePermissions
.EXAMPLE
C:\PS> Get-Content 'computerlist.txt' | .\Get-SharePermissions | Out-File 'SharePermissions.txt'
.EXAMPLE
Get-Help .\Get-SharePermissions -Full

Job descriptions are like nether regions, everyone has one, and they're all pretty much fowled up...
my initial thought to this is "Why is Verizon buying Xen Orchestra......? "
So I'm well aware of the question, and how loaded it is.
We are currently using laCie and have had a rather high failure rate as of recently with 2 different units. So are there any units that fit in the Enterprise environment?

Your last post, "I hope that this gets cached before it gets deleted. This is classic stuff. We will want to reference this again in the future."
Money!
